 Siegers
Seed Company recently promoted Karl Sauter (photo right)
from Purchasing Manager to Manager of Product Development and
Purchasing.
Karl has a Bachelors Degree in Vegetable Crop Production from
Michigan State University, a Masters Degree in Plant Breeding
from the University of Minnesota, and a well-rounded knowledge
of customer service, marketing and purchasing. For the last 8
years Karl has been an integral part of meeting the grower’s
evolving needs.
Karl explains, “We are looking to streamline--yet
strengthen--our Product Development department to more
efficiently identify superior genetics and then integrate them
more quickly into our product offerings. This will be
accomplished in part by the closer relationship between product
development and purchasing, such that older varieties will be
phased out in anticipation of better additions and the sales
department will be provided with better information and
support.”
 “The
seed business is changing with a continual movement toward
‘added value’ throughout the supply chain--from product
development to the public’s table. The more we can learn about
our products, the better we can serve our customers by providing
them with the proper varieties for their markets, or by
providing them with the right variety to open a new market.”
Jamie Scholten (photo left) is the primary product development
associate and will continue, under Karl’s leadership, to offer
superior service while strengthening Siegers position as a
leader in this area.
